Reds lose three to injury for Super Rugby

Queensland Reds winger Izaia Perese has been named for his first Super Rugby appearance of the year but a host injuries has prompted further changes for Saturday night's showdown with the NSW Waratahs.

After going down with a knee injury in pre-season, Perese is a welcome inclusion on the wing for the Reds.

"We've been working hard to develop depth within the squad so that we can cope with these setbacks when they occur. It's a chance for other players to step up."

The Reds have made a further four changes on the bench, with Korczyk demoted and prop Sef Fa'agase, flanker Angus Scott-Young and halfback Tate McDermott all back in the squad for the first time since round six.

The two sides haven't met at the SCG since 1983 and both sides will wear throwback jerseys to mark the occasion, with the Reds set to don the maroon, as they did at home to the Waratahs last season.
